yes! the manga is much better. when the anime is made, some of the mangaka's art style is lost in the transistion. and the manga usually explains things better than the anime because you cant have your audience listen to a long explanation. its just plain the original, which in most cases is better than a translation

The anime is horribly drawn and the fight scenes suck ass. They're horribly boring and the characters are sometimes subtly different, like a face too long, or a body too big. Can't stand it, especially when they make you sit through and listen to all the talk and crap.

But still I watch it (dunno why). It's like I WANT to watch it in hopes there'll be one good fight, or that I spent so much time watching it already it'd be pointless to stop now.
